Flying high

It’s been a fantastic year for Glasgow Airport. Over the past 12 months the airport has secured 26 new routes and services including destinations such as Budapest, Berlin and Milan. Both international and domestic traffic has increased and an increasing demand for London routes has also been met. Glasgow Airport also secured the title of best UK and Scottish Airport of 2015. Next year is the airport’s 50th anniversary year and I wish everyone involved continued success in the New Year.
